A window into applied science supported by INL

The Program for the first INL Workshop is almost ready. All our young researchers have already confirmed their participation. And our post docs are getting their. We are only waiting for one single ‘yes’. It’s an extra effort for everybody, that is clear, but it will be worth it.

You can expect two and half days of intense and collaborative work, good Portuguese food and some leisure too. The workshop will be held from Monday 24th (9:30 am) to Wednesday 26th (2:00 pm).

A detailed presentation of the INL building project along with a site visit is planed. There will also be learning session regarding innovative learning tools, with the collaboration of a specialised company. Presentations on Entrepreneurship and Technology transfer by venture capital experts are also being carefully prepared.

In the following days all participants will receive a detailed schedule for the workshop. We are confident it is going to be a success.

New INL researcher Marta Prado

Marta Prado is INL´s latest researcher and has just settled in in Braga. She has an advanced degree in Food Science and Technology and studies in Biology Science from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain). Marta has a PhD from the same university in the program of Nutrition, Bromatology and Food technology.

Between the years 1999 and 2006, our new Spanish colleague has been working as a researcher in the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences (Lugo, Spain) from the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC). Between 2006 and 2010, she has been working as Scientific Officer in the Institute of Reference Materials and Measurements from the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (EC-JRC-IRMM) in Geel, Belgium.

Most of her research experience is related with genomic analysis tools and its application to food analysis, since she had worked on the development and optimization of PCR-based methods for the control of food and animal feeds. In the INL, she will work on the application of magnetic nanobiosensors for the detection of ruminant origin meals in feed.
